Because it's a damn good song, but this girl has the STRONGEST Australian accent I've ever heard outside of Steve Urwin.
Great song, but hotdamn.
The Sound of White by Missy Higgins
Or "The Saund au Whyatt" as she sings it.
ALSO:
Because bareedy got it stuck in my head, John Cooper Clarke's Beasley Street. According to the NME: "Looking like a gonk stick insect in Raybans, Manchester University librarian Clarke jumped the Punk bandwagon, took it over and made it fly. Looking and sounding like a fright wigged Ginsberg on speed and an out of control crash-diet, Mr Clarke is still the role model for any young performance poet not suffering from premature brain death."
Yeah, I'm not a big poetry fan, but Beasley Street is astounding.
And this version was put to music anyway. ;)
Oh, and he has a really strong accent too.
